On 16 January 2014, I announced details of the capital allocations for the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability . The schemes are funded by 80% recoupments available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority . Every local authority received increased funding for grants compared to the 2013 allocations.
The allocation to Kildare County Council in respect of the grant schemes for 2014 is €2,274,787 of which €454,957 is to be provided from the Council’s own revenue resources.
